Does anyone know how many cc’s the plenum is on these?

About tree fiddy, I think that is probably one feature lacking on this air rifle but with a high enough set point and long enough barrel, should be fine.

Are you saying the plenum is 350 cc's?

Gap between barrel and air cylinder is a turn off for me, i instantly think " Aaaa dual mode design ( bottle + tube ) design / 1 size fit all "
like the avenger X?? should have just put the bottle on.. I also don't like the gap.. but I wonder if it will actually be like the avenger X so you can put a bottle on?.. I looked at the avenger X with the bottle and it's getting up closer to the prices of guns like FX..

The plenum is a small 23cc but very effective.

23cc is small but about twice what the P35/Stoeger Bullshark come with. The maximum regulator pressure in my P35s is controlled by the hammer spring. It can't open the valve if you turn the regulator up above 150 bar. That could be another controlling factor for the 60. I would expect it to handle at least 21 grain pellets in 22 and 34 grain in 25. It might handle heavier than that but I wouldn't buy it assuming it will. By handling them I'm thinking it needs to get them up over 800 fps. SPA is starting to catch on to our desire for big plenums, the P35X has a 65cc plenum. But I wouldn't expect the M60 to get up to M3 power levels. The plenum is too small and it seems reasonable to expect the hammer spring cannot support a regulator pressure as high. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest but if you want to shoot slugs it's something to consider.

I took advantage of the July 4th discount and pre ordered a .25 zelos from pyramid air.

I’m looking forward to this …
The wait is killing me haha.I ordered one back in may when they had the big birthday sale. I couldn’t pass is up for under $500. Let’s keep our fingers crossed it comes in early 🤞
 
I bought one of the 25 cal M60B's from Airgun Archery Fun on their pre-order deal. It came in this past Wednesday. The regulator on it is set at 160bar and it shoots 25.39's at 960fps for almost 52ft/lbs. Mine has the 480cc carbon fiber bottle. I'm getting 2 magazines (36 shots) before it comes off the regulator. I feel like the hammer spring is too strong on it and is causing it to waste a little air. After I break it in some more, I may look into trying to lighten that up. I've had a few quirks with it, but I'm overall happy with it, especially the accuracy so far.

Glad to hear that it is working for you. I just expected to see FPE Numbers Higher like around 60 or so in a .25. Thanks for the info.

Just as a FYI.. It actually shoots about 2ft/lbs harder than my 25 cal Uragan 1. The Uragan is still on stock regulator setting, etc.

I think these are good numbers and am pleased.
Remember this is a Umarex release and they don’t want a flop…. The delay in delivery is a good thing in my opinion. I recall the same situation with the Notos … and other than magazine issues it was a great success

I want to assume the zelos will follow suit
